Exclusive | Bug Me Not Pants Repels Ticks, Mosquitoes and More!

Deter ticks, mosquitoes and other insects

Help protect against insects that carry dangerous diseases

Smart features and powerful Insect Shield® technology that infuses the fabric with permethrin

Free yourself from swatting and scratching and help protect against insects that carry dangerous diseases, including Lyme disease and West Nile Virus. With insect-repelling design and powerful Insect Shield® technology, you'll have effective protection from ticks, mosquitoes, black flies and no-see-ums. The Insect Shield protection is built right into the fabric — you won‘t feel or smell it but the bugs sure will! And it lasts for 70 washings. Bug Me Not Pants have innovative “Tick Nix” cuffs to keep ticks from climbing up your legs. A hidden squat gusset lets you crouch in comfort. And the contoured waistband has invisible inside elastic adjustment. There's a pair of cargo pockets, and zip-off legs so you can switch to shorts. Bug Me Not clothes are made from the ideal summer fabric — soft, super-light 100% nylon fabric that wicks moisture, resists stains and dries in a wink. Gardening has never felt this good! SPF-30.

These pants are perfect for gardening in hot weather. They're light and comfortable, and true to size. (5'4", 130lb and size 6 is just right.) Here in the NE USA I worry about ticks, but the interior cuffs on these pants make it easy to put socks over to keep those buggers out. The outer cuffs mean I still can still look nice at the same time. These pants are also good for some light hiking, though the lightness of the fabric may not fare well through brushy areas.

After two summers of taking antibiotics for Lyme Disease in the Massachusetts woods, I now wear the Bug Me Not shirt and pants while gardening, confident that ticks find me and my clothing repellant. I've seen more ticks this year than past summers, but there have been none on me since I've been wearing these clothes almost every day for the last month or so.

The permethrin treatment seems effective. The pants fell off of a hook onto a tiled walk one afternoon, quickly unearthing an unknown ants' nest. It quickly went from there being no ants to there being many hundreds fleeing the scene.

The blouse snaps securely up into the collar, forming a sort of turtleneck, and at the sleeves. The pants have a hidden elastic cuff at the ankle for further safety. Add my boots and my permethrin sprayed sun hat and I'm good to go.

The shirt and pants fit well and look pretty cute, though they do get a little dirty. The permethrin treatment lasts through 70 washings, so they can't be washed as frequently as I would wash other clothes. That's fine with me though.

I really and truly think all gardeners and hikers and hunters and anyone doing anything in or around the woods should buy these products.

The design of these pants is perfect for gardening. The only one with inner cuffs to keep bugs out, light weight for my tropical climate. Only one waist adjustment necessary, ever. I've now tossed my other gardening pants, which are too heavy, have too-loose elastic cuffs and one with cuffs you have to tie. One has no fly, requiring a snap-in belt adjustment every time you put on or take off the pants. These are so good I might get another pair.
